Formula for Operative Temperature - correct answer ✔T_op = A * T_a + (1-
A) * T_r
T_op = Operative Temperature
T_a = Air Temperature
T_r = Mean Radiant Temperature
Relative Air Speed (V_r) vs. A - correct answer ✔V_r A
<0.2m/s (40fpm) 0.5
0.2 - 0.6 m/s (40 - 120 fpm) 0.6
0.6 - 1.0 m/s (120 - 200 fpm) 0.7
Assuming T_op = T_a... - correct answer ✔No radiant or radiant panel for
heating or cooling
